Solution:
Step 1: Understand port-forward with HTTPS
Port-forward just tunnels traffic; HTTPS with self-signed cert causes browser warnings unless trusted.Step 2: Choose correct approach
Configuring browser to trust the cert avoids warnings; switching to HTTP or disabling TLS reduces security; LoadBalancer is unrelated.Final Answer:
Use port-forward and configure your browser to trust the self-signed certificate -> Option BQuick Check:
Trust cert to avoid HTTPS warnings [OK]
